GPS Cardinal App Reviews

Has a nice interface but simply does nothing. NOTHING ! Clearly it is not ready for distribution.

Pretty looking, but has serious issues and is incomplete.

Slow, unresponsive on the rare occasion when it does something. Most of the time - nada. Oh well, Ive blown more than .99 on bubble gum.

One word, WORTHLESS

Im in downtown LA, and the program refuses to work. While I appreciate the want for accuracy, Id rather an approximate location than none at all.

Works exactly as described and shows your position and speed pretty accurately. Remember - it’s not a magnetic compass and you have to move for the application to start working.

Does not work in Minneapolis either even though maps knows where I am

My goal was to replace my Garmin GPS on walks during which I like to chart distance, speed, etc. Im afraid GPS Cardinal is not yet up to the task. We began todays hike under an open sky. Cardinal quickly turned the accuracy indicator green and the compass reset. It worked well until I walked under minimal tree cover. The indicator turned red and updating ceased. The Garmin GPS has no issues with all but the most dense tree cover. When I emerged from the trees, Cardinal began to read out again. I slipped the iPhone into my outside shirt pocket where it should have had a clear view of the sky. However, the distance indicator never registered, even after more than a mile walk. Unless Cardinal will work with less satellite signal, as several other mapping Apps do, it is only useable when hiking if you have a full view of the sky and are willing to hold the iPhone in your hand during your entire walk.

good idea, good looking, could be well of use if it would work. Installed it twice but nothing works?!? If it would work id like to have the possibility to switch to kilometers and km/h instead of only miles and m/h ( european citizen ). One star for now, will try again after the hopefully soon to come update.

Just like the rest of the reviews it is not working for me neither. Do not spend your money.

Works poorly if at all

I have tried to use this app in multiple scenarios....Cars, aircraft, walking... It has only worked twice and only once was it accurate.... I beleive it has to do with Satellite reception...??? Maybe this issue can be worked on... Also iPhone covers and their materials probably have to do with the poor reception...

This was exactly what I was looking for. Speed, heading, and altitude all work as well as can be expected on a GPS like the iPhones. Not perfect but good enough and very easy to use.

Very good, basic free app. Works well and easy to read from car dash while driving. Should consider making compass window smaller so that other read-out can be larger.
